About: I’ve been a dog lover for years with experience taking care of pets of all sizes and ages. It all started with my family’s English Mastiff. Later I adopted my elder mini schnauzer mix and most recently, I take care of my 10 year old Boxer Pitbull mix (Missy). My experience isn’t just with elderly pups, I also have house trained and sat puppies for my family (they have 5 in total). I’m happy to help give your fur-babies the best care possible! I take classes throughout the day and work part time Monday through Wednesday, but I have all day from Thursday through Sunday to spend with your furry best friend! I’m flexible with timing and if you need additional coverage or help let me know and we can make a schedule together. I’m comfortable with all pets! No baby is too big or small as I’ve had pets of many sizes and understand the needs of each. My dog (Missy) is afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks, so I understand the needs of bug babies with anxiety. I also help pet sit my family’s other pets which include a hyperactive Australian shepherd/heeler mix. I can’t wait to be your dogs walking buddy or their next couch companion during a storm!
“Abby was great and super hopeful even through some technical difficulties! She was sure to communicate with me throughout her time with my dog and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Very appreciative of Megan’s professional, great care of our pups. She communicated very well and included pictures during her visits. Will be reaching out to her for future care and highly recommend her.”
“Amy did great with Cooper. She arrived on time, spent time helping Cooper get used to her, and successfully took Cooper outside to do his business. Mission accomplished! We are 110% pleased with Amy and she will be our go-to sitter .”
“Such a joy getting help from Carey. Her assistance sets a role model for what top services means. So glad I made the decision to get Carey to help out while we went on a road trip. Will reach out again when opportunity arises!”
“Alexis was a fantastic sitter! She watched our kitties for about 2 weeks and gave us daily updates and photos!! 😻She was able to ease our anxiety while traveling out of state. She cleaned their food dishes and litter boxes, and water bowls were never left empty. She gave our kitties the love and attention they needed. So grateful for her and we will be booking again!”
“Natasha does an amazing job taking care of Chapo for extended stays while I am out of the country. She does an excellent job of letting me know, his mood, how he is interacting with her, whether he is playful or just needs attention. She is trustworthy, attentive, and personable across the entire process from booking, to daily follow ups.”
“Jill was wonderful! She sent so many pictures of our puppy while she watched her, and went above and beyond in her care. We knew our puppy was in great hands. We will absolutely be contacting her again the future to care for our girl!”
About: I dogsit for family and friends quite often, and love animals altogether! For clients I do walks in neighborhoods or parks, outside time, letting out, feeding, and play time! My family had our own Bassett Hound for 10 years! I do shelter skip day every once in a while to spend time with dogs for the day! Im currently in college, with classes Monday through Thursday, and off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. My class schedule varies day to day, but my late afternoon to evening is free, and most of my classes are in the morning! I will always make an effort to work things out! I socialize on the weekends, but will always be able to put time aside! I can walk dogs in neighborhoods or parks, I also can play and chill with your baby and take them out to play and go potty. I will also follow your feeding schedule! My care is flexible depending on what you need!
“I used Adam to watch the pugs again when I had to go out of town. He was great as always- I never have to worry about them when he is watching them. I highly recommend him to be your dog’s sitter.”
About: I have spent the past 16 years in the pet care industry taking care of cats and dogs. I have worked in dog daycare, boarding and grooming facilities in the past. I have been working with clients for years dog walking, house sitting and cat sitting. I am experienced with puppies, grown dogs and seniors dogs. I have experience with small and large breeds of dogs. I have experience administering medication, feeding meals, monitoring potty breaks, taking dogs on walks, and giving baths. I have also taken care of fish, hermit crabs and horses. I worked at a horse stable for 5 years. For the last 9 years I have baby sat my autistic nieces who have two dogs as well. I work Monday- Friday and I am available after 2:30 pm for any pet care needs! I am available all day Saturday and Sunday! I follow every precaution to make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable for my visit. I talk with my clients beforehand to learn about pets routine and care needs. I talk before hand about amount of time that is okay to be away before leaving the dog, cat alone. I am very flexible and and want to learn about any specific needs your animals have!
“Sophie was wonderful with my puppy! She kept great communication throughout the entire time, sent me the cutest photos every day, and took him on nice walks. He looked so happy and comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She followed all of my instructions very well, and I would definitely trust her to take care of him again. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a responsible, mature, and loving pet-sitter. I understand the concern you feel for your fur baby and will provide consisent care and attention while you are away from home. I have always had dogs and cats of my own and love them as part of the family. I am currently freelance and set my own schedule. When I care for your pet they are my priority, and I will care for them as I would my own pets. I understand the needs of dogs and cats while their owner is away, and I will give them loving care until you return home to them.

“Taylor was excellent with our dogs! She took the time to meet them beforehand, was very communicative, and sent plenty of updates and photos while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!”
“Beth was amazing and took such good care of our cat!! She was very understanding with a communication error in the beginning, and spent a lot of time playing with our cat who can be shy at first but warmed right up to her! We will definitely be using her again- thanks Beth!”
“Anna is a 10/10 dog sitter!! She’s very responsive to messages and goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs are taken care of and having fun. She has become an essential part of any trip we take, we know we can count on her to take care of our big dogs and check in on the house.”
About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.

Kate was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet, caring, and wonderful with our dog. She took the most amazing pictures and kept up with his toy rotation, which was especially important to my son. It was such a relief knowing he were happy, loved, and well taken care of while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies! 🐾❤️
Haley is very reliable and went above and beyond. Our dog is one who can be a bit leery of new faces but warmed to Haley after the first visit because Haley took the time to make Elsa feel at ease. We lost all of our worries of leaving our pet behind and recommend Haley to anyone.
Alexis was very sweet, on time, and a great communicator. We received daily pictures and updates. With the spring weather changing from hot to cold, she communicated about home temperature and adjusted for the cats comfort. She kept up with the litter box, adding water to their fountains, as well as cleaning the cats food dishes! Great trusted sitter if you are looking for someone to drop in while you are away for an extended trip. I would love to use her again for future vacation kitty needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
